很蓬松。(Pretty fluffy.)

今天我们照片中的Swaledale绵羊是一个令人印象深刻的品种，以英格兰约克郡的SwaledaleValley命名。Swaledale羊广泛分布在英国的山区，特别是约克郡山谷、达勒姆郡和坎布里亚郡的奔宁山，以其坚韧的天性而闻名，使其非常适合崎岖地区。它们有厚而粗糙的羊毛，黑色的脸，鼻子和眼睛周围有白色的斑纹，两性都戴着卷曲的角，而雄性的角要大得多。母羊是优秀的母亲，即使在恶劣的自然条件下也能很好地饲养小羊。Swaledale羊的羊毛很耐用，但商业价值很小。然而，由于其耐用性，它被用于地毯、毯子和绝缘材料。

The Swaledale sheep in our picture today are an impressive breed named after the Swaledale Valley in Yorkshire, England. Widely spread in the more mountainous areas of the UK, particularly the Yorkshire Dales, County Durham and the Pennine Hills of Cumbria, Swaledale sheep are known for their resilient nature, making them perfect for rough areas. They have thick, coarse wool, black faces with white markings around the nose and eyes and both sexes wear curled horns, whereby those of the males are significantly larger. The ewes are excellent mothers and able to raise their lambs well even in adverse natural conditions. The wool of the Swaledale sheep is durable, but of little commercial value. Nevertheless, due to its durability, it is used for carpets, blankets and insulation materials.
